Thousands rally in Morocco demanding an end to Israel’s war on Gaza

Tens of thousands took to the streets in Morocco's capital, Rabat, to protest Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza. The demonstration, organised by the Justice and Development party, was the largest pro-Palestinian rally in Rabat for months.

Chanting and drumming echoed through the city as protesters marched down Mohammed V Avenue near parliament, waving flags—including one bearing the image of the late Hamas chief, Yahya Sinwar.

Children carried white shrouds stained red to symbolise the young victims of the war, while the death toll in Gaza has now reached 50,695, according to the Health Ministry.

Protestors called for the liberation of Palestine, labelling Netanyahu a criminal, and demanding an end to the Gaza siege and the immediate entry of aid.

Moroccan ties with Israel, established in 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords, were also under fire, with many chanting that such relations were an act of “treason.”
